An interesting quote on the Ibori saga and how a THIEF could have become President of Nigeria.

"Had Yar'Adua lived, and made Ibori his vice-president, he would have had a clear run to become president.

"Then Mr Ibori would have met Queen Elizabeth at the state house, instead of serving at her pleasure," by Antony Goldman a journalist

that name now means THIEF and it stinks

U people are complaining, when i get hold on power i ill definately loot my own & keep the money in Nigeria no bagger ill seize anything from me. Ibori money ill be small compare to what i ill steal. Keep complaining no go join PDP.

I don't know why people are elated that this man's hustle got knocked.
He worked his way from the bottom through so I don't blame dude, I'd do the same if given the chance - its called Capitalism!

There's a word for the things Ibori has done in the Bible; it's called Vanity.

The whole Nigeria system is totally consumed by corruption, It is a shame. How come GEJ has not altered a word on this issue? For God's sake this is a National issue!!! Nigerians need to revolt against corruption. The Nigeria Judiciary system is a facade as far as I am concerned.

Before anyone condemns Ibori, boldly make the claim that you have never sinned against your fellow man. I condemn the actions, not the man. Contrary to what most people here may think, I believe that there is hope for Mr Ibori. Me sef wey dey condemn the guy don commit exam malpractice (a grave offense) so wetin

9ice for him!

Quote from MAYOWAAK

James Onanefe Ibori won't lose much of his wealth. His beloved cousin is the Delta State Governor who has been stealing money since he took over from Ibori. He pays Ibori 200million a month since Ibori left power. Calculate that!

UK govt wants to collect the looted $250million and hand it back to Delta State government. Once the money gets to the Delta state, Emanuel Uduaghan will hand it back to Ibori. Case close.

Exactly

I thought dat any time these thieves wins a bribe laden court case they will shamelessly come out to tell their gullible followers that "THIS IS A VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY" why is it that since d news of his plea of guilt to corruption broke out none from the federal or state govt. has come out to sing the same chorus, i assume this one is not "A VICTORY FOR DEMOCRACY" anymore because from the President down to ordinary chancellors are criminals so no morale right to condemn what they know they are also guilty of.   Nigeria has long gone to the pigs

Not long ago somebody was sentenced to life imprisonment in the same Delta state for stealing a car stereo, in Kaduna a man was sentenced to 25yrs in jail for defrauding hid boss according to these judges it was to send a strong massage to criminals in the states that crime does not pay but bring before this same judge a politician of note and they will strike out the case for lack of strong evidence, Oh Nigerians when are we going to stand up to this criminals when are going to see that this so called leaders are our common enemies who uses Religion and ethnicity to chain is to everlasting poverty while they loot our commonwealth my future your future and that of our unborn generation away

i dont even know what to say. . .just soo pissed off

Odidigbodigbo of Africa!!! looks good in his mug shot

His Excellent(cy) -Thief Onanafe Ibori. ''A thief in government house'' what an apt description.

luvtoyota:

ALL GOVERNORS IN NIGERIA ARE JUST LIKE IBORI
ALL OF THEM ARE THIEVES , JUST LIKE IBORI .
NIGERIA IS A BASTARD COUNTRY , THAT CAN CATCH THIEF

Most sensible post so far

It was alleged that he is called chairman by fellow governors. I now understand the reason 'cos of such an oppulent lifestyle which erodes any sense of meaningful progress for an average indigene of delta state

[b][/b]guess what ibori, alams amd dariye have in common? they looted the treasury, they were arrested in london, and they are all CHRISTIANS. Isn't that wonderful?

This is a very good observation. But let me explain something you may have never known. GOD'S JUDGMENT WILL START WITH THE VERY CHRISTIANS FIRST WHO KNEW THE TRUTH AND DID NOT OBEY IT. God's judgment will begin at the very house of God and MOST people there (apparently hypocrites) will NOT survive it. The ignorant muslim who did not know much about Jesus will not receive the same type of heavy punishment the so-called Christians will receive. This SOBERS me badly and makes me GENUINELY want to be like JESUS in truth and NOT a hypocrite.

ibori, alams amd dariye ARE hypocrites!!

No disrespect, what has religion got to do with this?

said it all

Its high time Nigerians start burning property that belong to corrupt politicians and Criminals. It happened in Owerri and people learnt their lessons.

Only in Nigeria where a common Wickes cashier scams his way to the highest offices of the land. And all for what? Exclusive London property, expensive cars and mistresses while millions starve and wallow in their own sh*t back in Nigeria. How much does a man need really?We are being ruled by megalomaniac, low IQ ignoramuses.

If there ever was a case for Capital punishment, then this ugly man is it. Firing squad will be too good for this bas*tard.

I was merely replying to E nice (m)'s original message that the main actors were CHRISTIANS. His original emphasis, not mine.

Morality and its sad consequences can also be religious matters as well. Was James Ibori not honored and almost respected at his church
in Delta State? Were the Priests or ministers there blind?

There goes your problem!

IBORI YOU SEE UR LIFE? You are using our niger delta money anyhow God don catch you  do we even know how much stolen money ibory has stashed in swiss accounts?

The british should jail this mofo and they should please pay that $250MILLION DOLLARS TO JULIUS BERGER TO CONSTRUCT AND TAR ALL VILLAGE ROADS IN NIGER DELTA. I rest my case courttttttttttttttttttt !!!!

When are we going to learn? It's Iborigate today and another blackmangate tomorrow. Our judicial system is bad.

For godliness with contentment is a great gain. We brought nothing into this world and we shall take nothing out of it.
